CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
ICCI'90 will be an international forum for presentation of new results
in research, development, and applications in computing
and information. The organizers expect both practitioners and
theorists to attend.
We have been encouraged by the success of the first
Conference (ICCI'89). The ICCI'90 Conference will be one day shorter:
May 23-26, 1990, and there will be four fixed (but
generalized)streams:
A - Information and Coding Theory,
B - Foundations of Computer Science, Theory of Algorithms and
Programming,
C - Concurrency, Parallelism, and Communications,
D - Data and Software Engineering, Database, Expert Systems,
Information Systems, AI Methodologies, and Decision Making.
Each stream will consist of theoretical papers as well
as presentations on performance issues and implementation
techniques.There will be one invited lecture each day in each
stream (except for the first day keynote lecture).
It will be the first Conference advertised with the electronic address
only, although all direct mail inquires will also be answered (in
particular all "old" participants will be invited -what are friends
for!). Draft and final papers as well as acceptance letters will be, of
course, sent by regular mail.
The ICCI'89 Conference was sponsored by the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada. We expect similar
support next year. In addition, we are applying for IEEE sponsorship.
The Conference will be advertised in AMS Notices, ACM and
IEEE Communications, and international journals. We are already
placed in three national databases (two in the USA, one in Europe).
You are invited to review the information contained in
this announcement, and follow the other computer science and
mathematics educators, administrators, researchers and students
from: Austria,Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, P.R. China,
Czechoslovakia,Denmark, East Germany, England, Finland, France,
